GOAL 1: GET TO KNOW MYSELF TO BETTER IMPROVE MYSELF


 How am I going to accomplish this goal:

In order to grasp my normal routine I am going to track my nutrition and exercise habits for a straight week. I will then try and understand my strengths
and weaknesses so that I can begin to create a routine that fits me to improve my overall health.

 How did I do on this goal:

After tracking my nutrition and exercise for a week I was able to get an idea of what my routine is like on a daily basis. I noticed that a lot of the
foods I eat are fried and I am not eating enough fruits and vegetables. I also observed that I tend to eat higher calorie foods and more food when I am
stressed. There were a few healthy habits that I accomplished regularly for example I made sure to have at least a small portion of various sources of
protein in every meal. One of my major accomplishments is that I stopped drinking soda and increased my hydration levels up by drinking around 14
ounces every two hours. A large portion of my calcium intake seemed to be coming from cheese, though later in the week I began trying to incorporate
better choices like fat-free Greek yogurt and almond milk. I also noticed that consumed pizza a lot this week of tracking which is atypical of my normal
dietary habits.

I have often struggled in maintaining a nutrition plan, in order to improve this by creating snack packs that I easily throw into my bag and eat from
periodically through the day. Each snack pack will contain a protein source, a fruit or vegetable, small amount of whole grains, and a cheese stick that
way I can acquire nutrients from all the food groups at ease. I can also help my diet by choosing to avoid as many carbs, sweets, and greasy foods as I
discovered I consumed by tracking my dietary routines.

Some of my physical limitations are that I have asthma and have a bad knee due to an ATV accident that happened years ago but the injury was
never properly treated. I have had been dealing with a lot of stress lately and have even been diagnosed with having Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
(PTSD) within the last year. Long exposure to stress can have harmful effects on your body as well make it difficult to lose weight. It would be a good
idea to explore various ways I could relax and handle straining situations.

Another interesting thing I observed that I tend to eat meals and then fall asleep shortly after. Eating right before sleeping is a bad habit that could
be avoided by planning ahead better times when to eat and sleep. I noted that there was some series of days that I was rather stagnant so I will try and
implement a plan where I at least walk for 30 minutes on days that I don’t do vigorous exercise. What I would like to get out of this class is to increase
my core body strength, flexibility, and nutrition habits. I would also like to work toward a healthier BMI and overall lifestyle I can adopt to continue after
this class has ended.
HLAC 1055-002 FITNESS JOURNAL CHERYLE LLOYD

GOAL 2: INCREASE HYDRATION LEVELS TO 50%


 How am I going to accomplish this goal:

I plan to increase my hydration by carrying my water bottle around. I will also track my hydration for a week. Lastly I will then continue to drink more
water throughout the semester. At the end of the semester I will measure my hydration levels to see if they met my desired goal.

 How did I do on this goal:

I know having proper hydration is extremely important and it is something I need to work on. I wanted to see how my hydration was normally so I
didn't change anything on Sunday, January 25th and realized that I had only 48fl oz. for the entire day! Shocked and eager to improve my hydration I got
my water bottle and carried it around everywhere I was able to and tracked my water consumption in my fitness journal. I didn't want to get sick by over
compensating, so I looked up a healthy amount of water consumption for my body type and it suggested at least 90 fluid ounces a day. In order to
achieve this I carefully planned times so that on Monday, January 26th, I drank around 96fl oz. Tuesday, January 27th, I have two aerobic classes and was
my last day off before I starting my work week of 10-hour grave shifts, so I tried to drink as much water as I could and ended up drinking around 234fl oz.

The difference between being hydrated and dehydrated was incredible. Just throughout the same day I was drinking enough water I had
more energy, felt more clear-headed and attentive. It definitely was a stark contrast when on Wednesday, January 28th I only consumed around 77fl oz.
as I noticed I was more sluggish and could tell that my body wanted more water easier than before I started this challenge. January 29th, Thursday, I
approximately had 120fl oz. and on the January 30th, Friday, I had around 100fl oz. I work in an environment that I can't have my water bottle with me,
so I had to try and make up for lost water on my breaks. My hospital job is on a shift that is 70 hours every other week so it will be interesting to see how
my water consumption is affected when I am not working. This challenge was very insightful to me and I plan to continue to work on improving my
hydration by carrying a water bottle around with me.

Throughout the semester I have seen an improvement in my water intake. I also I managed to quit drinking soda as well as reduced how much
coffee I would normally drink. My hydration went from 42% to X% at the midterm checkup and I plan to continue to drink enough water so that my
hydration is closer to 50% which is the recommended base level of healthy hydration. One way to increase my water intake could be to set an alarm for
every 2 hours when I am at work or doing a project to remind me to get up and grab a drink because I tend to forget to have water breaks otherwise.
Maintaining healthy hydration levels is a great stepping stone in the pathway of achieving my semester goals as well as sustaining lifelong wellness.
HLAC 1055-002 FITNESS JOURNAL CHERYLE LLOYD

GOAL 3: FINDING WAYS OF REDUCING STRESS


 How am I going to accomplish this goal:

I have been dealing with high exposure to stress during the course of this last year and I am hoping to find some ways I can reduce stress in my daily
life. Some options I found was to release tension by running, engaging in creative outlets, maintaining good nutrition, getting enough sleep, and
performing meditative rituals. In extreme cases attending therapy can be an option that could help individuals develop efficient coping methods for
dealing with stress. I plan to try these various ways that I can reduce stress and implement my favorites into my routine in order to improve my overall
wellbeing.

 How did I do on this goal:

This past year I was diagnosed with having chronic Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), depression, and obesity. In response to discovery, I am
trying to work toward a healthier lifestyle by implementing changes in my diet and exercise habits. Throughout the last semester I was faced with
stressful family problems that limited my success of obtaining my fitness goals, so this semester I intend to continue on path to obtain lifelong wellness.
Prolong exposure of high levels of stress can cause health problems that affect such things as losing weight, appetites, and sleep patterns in a negative
way.

I started running at least twice a week for 30 minutes and I feel that it has helped release the nervous energy that creates tension caused by
exposure to stressful situations. I also have starting exploring some creative outlets by signing up for a beginning painting class. I find that submersing
myself into my painting it allows my mind a break from constantly thinking about the stressors I am currently dealing with. My biggest obstacle this
semester was experiencing a lot of outside stresses that affected my emotional well-being and focus needed to achieve my fitness goals. I have also
made an effort to get an extra half hour of sleep every night and have felt that the extra time has helped me handle stress better in my life. In the
middle of the semester I found out that I had adrenal exhaustion which negatively affects my body due to prolong exposure to stress hormones. In
response to this discovery I have begun to look for therapists in order to help me develop better emotional coping skills. I have also considered seeking
the advice of a nutritionist as I continue to struggle with my nutrition plan. I believe that the steps I have already taken as well as those I plan to embark
on shortly will help reduce my stress levels to more manageable ranges. Coping with stress is an important part of achieving and maintain a healthy
lifestyle.
HLAC 1055-002 FITNESS JOURNAL CHERYLE LLOYD

GOAL 4: CREATING A NUTRITION PLAN


 How am I going to accomplish this goal:

While exercise is important it is equally essential to have a good nutrition plan when trying to obtain a healthy lifestyle. We were asked to track our
nutrition in order to provide an example of how we can improve our nutrition. I will be analyzing my nutrition chart to compare the areas where I
excelled and those that I could improve on and my plan to implement a healthier lifestyle for me.

 How did I do on this goal:

I struggled in my nutrition plan in the beginning to try to eat small snacks every 2 hours throughout the day, often only eating two to three times a
day. I have come up with a plan on how I can improve my nutrition plan by creating snack packs beforehand that I easily throw into my bag and eat from
periodically through the day. Each snack pack will contain a protein source, a fruit or vegetable, small amount of whole grains, and a cheese stick that
way I can acquire nutrients from all the food groups at ease. I can also help my diet by choosing to avoid as many carbs, sweets, and greasy foods as I
discovered I consumed by tracking my dietary routines.

There were a few healthy habits that I accomplished regularly for example I made sure to have at least a small portion of various sources of protein
in every meal. One of my major accomplishments is that I stopped drinking soda and increased my hydration levels up by drinking around 14 ounces
every two hours. A large portion of my calcium intake seemed to be coming from cheese, though later in the week I began trying to incorporate better
choices like fat-free Greek yogurt and almond milk. I also noticed that consumed pizza a lot this week of tracking which is atypical of my normal dietary
habits. In order to be more prepared I have gathered supplies in order to have healthy shakes that would be quick and easy to make that I could grab on
days when I am pressed for time. I believe by having this shakes prepared beforehand I will be able to have my servings of fruits and vegetables that I
noticed I was lacking in my nutrition log. Since I have continually struggled with maintaining proper nutrition I have planned a visit with a nutritionist so
that I can have a better plan of obtaining a healthy nutrition plan that I will be able to work with my life.

I plan to continue my path to achieve and maintain life-long wellness using the lessons I learned in my Pilates Spring 2015 semester class by being
persistent in exercising and work toward a nutrition plan that will promote a healthy lifestyle. Good nutrition and performing exercise affects all aspects
of my life. The lifestyle I practice now is likely to become the one I use for the rest of my life and I am making an effort to make sure the one I choose is a
healthy and beneficial one.

GOAL 5: LOSING 5% OF BODY FAT


 How am I going to accomplish this goal:

In order to decrease my body fat by 5% I have created various minor goals throughout the semester to support my major objective of obtaining a
healthier BMI and overall lifestyle. I have worked on increasing my hydration levels as well as reducing my stress levels. I also tackled my biggest huddle
of nutrition by trying to create and maintain a good nutrition plan. Lastly I have driven myself to exercise at least twice weekly in order to improve my
body’s strength, flexibility, and endurance. I believe by achieving these steps toward lifelong wellness will help me lose the desired amount of body fat at
the end of the semester.

 How did I do on this goal:

This past year I was diagnosed with having chronic Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), depression, and obesity. In response to discovery, I
am trying to work toward a healthier lifestyle by implementing changes in my diet and exercise habits. Prolong exposure of high levels of stress can
cause health problems that affect such things as losing weight, appetites, and sleep patterns in a negative way. Throughout the last semester I was
faced with stressful family problems that limited my success of obtaining my fitness goals, so this semester I focused on improving my wellness as well as
finding ways to reduce stress and I feel I have made great strides in the right direction to a healthier self.

Throughout the semester I have seen an improvement in my water intake. I also managed to quit drinking soda as well as reduced how much
coffee I would normally drink. My hydration went from 41% to 39% but I plan to continue to drink enough water so that my hydration is closer to 50%,
which is the recommended base level of healthy hydration. One way to increase my water intake could be to set an alarm for every 2 hours when I am
at work or doing a project to remind me to get up and grab a drink because I tend to forget to have water breaks otherwise. Maintaining healthy
hydration levels is a great stepping-stone in the pathway of achieving my semester goals as well as sustaining lifelong wellness.

In order to decrease my body fat by 5%, I created various minor goals throughout the semester to support my major objective of obtaining a
healthier BMI and overall lifestyle. I have worked on increasing my hydration levels as well as reducing my stress levels. I also tackled my biggest hurdle
of nutrition by trying to create and maintain a good nutrition plan. Lastly, I have driven myself to exercise at least twice weekly in order to improve my
body’s strength, flexibility, and endurance. I have decreased my protein intake to better balance it with the calories I ingest, helping to improve my
health. I talked to a professional to develop better nutrition habits. Even though I have partially obtained my fitness goals I must continue to exercise
and have good nutritional habits to reach my aim to having a healthy lifestyle that promotes lifelong wellness. While I haven’t met this goal I feel like I
have made progress by achieving my other goals in order to lose extra body fat after the semester has ended.
